Poetic adaptation of the song's lyrics into Italian by Marcello Arena. (Translation in English below, just after the lyrics in italian). Inspired by the imagery and the journey described by 𝗜+𝗔𝗜, I created an Italian adaptation that explores an even more philosophical interpretation. I tried to reflect on the flow of life, the inner journey and the acceptance of change through the metaphors of mountain, river, and ocean, weaving, in concepts like "panta rei" (everything flows) and "wu wei" (actionlessness) to express the tension between striving and surrender, and the harmony found in letting go. - - LYRICS IN ITALIAN - - Per vie che salgono all’infinito inseguo il cielo, chiaro e muto, un sogno alto, mai raggiunto, per scorgere oltre l’orizzonte. I sassi cedono sotto i passi, il vento spegne il giorno chiaro, la vetta sfuma, si fa miraggio, più la rincorro, più svanisce. Montagna, fiume, oceano, tutto scorre: panta rei. Salgo e precipito, rido e piango, e ancora mi chiedo: arriverò? Dal bianco sciogliersi della neve nasce un sussurro d’acqua viva, lo seguo giù, la voce chiama: “Non trattenere, lascia andare.” Il fiume corre, io mi abbandono, ci porta via con canto e furia, dico piano: “Portami dove devo”, ma mi trascina dentro al mare. Montagna, fiume, oceano, tutto scorre: panta rei. Gli alti e bassi vanno e tornano, il fiume sa già dove andrò. Le onde urlano come profezie, mi spingon via da ogni lato, resisto, nuoto, cerco un senso, ma ignoro ancora dove andrò. Poi il mare e l’anima si fondono, non più nemici, ma un solo ritmo: wu wei, io scorro senza sforzo, l’oceano ora vive dentro me. Montagna, fiume, oceano, tutto scorre: panta rei. Gli alti e bassi vanno e tornano, io sono il flusso, il flusso è me - - LYRICS IN ENGLISH - - By paths that rise to infinity I chase the sky, clear and mute, a high dream, never reached, to glimpse beyond the horizon. The stones give way beneath my steps, the wind extinguishes the clear day, the summit fades, becomes a mirage, the more I chase it, the more it vanishes. Mountain, river, ocean, everything flows: panta rei. I rise and fall, laugh and cry, and still I ask myself: will I arrive? From the white melting of the snow a whisper of living water is born, I follow it down, the voice calls: “Do not hold back, let go.” The river runs, I surrender, it carries us away with song and fury, I say softly: “Take me where I must go,” but it drags me into the sea. Mountain, river, ocean, everything flows: panta rei. The highs and lows come and go, the river already knows where I will go. The waves scream like prophecies, they push me away from every side, I resist, I swim, I seek meaning, but I still don’t know where I will go. Then the sea and the soul merge, no longer enemies, but a single rhythm: wu wei, I flow without effort, the ocean now lives inside me. Mountain, river, ocean, everything flows: panta rei. The highs and lows come and go, I am the flow, the flow is me.
